presses?-"Jack Puck" or "Piecemaker"?

[Gamera]

Hello peeps. Has anyone used either of these presses or have any recommendations for a storebought press? Jack Puck from Trimpro and Piecemaker from Green Harvest?
thanks,

I have seen/used the piecemaker once, it works alright, but I prefer hand pressing.

May fave method for hand pressing by the way, is to first rub the hash up into smaller gram sized balls or so, if the kif is REALLY dry I use a smidgen of filtered water to help it stick better. After all the hash has been rubbed up, I then put it in some cellophane and stand on it with a piece of wood, jump up and down a little, fold it, repeat stomping process again. It works damn good imo; and no need to go blow $300. Plus I prefer bricks over tubes, so ya.....

Thanks again. I want to try hand pressing some day. For now I have to wear gloves for security.

well, you could also put the kif in the cellophane skipping the whole hand pressing part (I just find the hand pressing bit make the hash more pliable and easier to hand press bars) if you press the kif in cello, I would press it, fold it, press it, fold it around 10 times or so so that every thing sticks together real well, you should end up with slates, look kinda like this from the side

and this from above

Just a little something I made from a 1/4 oz of bud I had.
